Chapter 50: Increasing Danger
"Whoa...... Whoop ......"
The waves crash against the beach, and despite repeated efforts, they always come to naught.
Chen Mu sat on a stone in the shade, staring at the waves that seemed to never stop.
For a while, Chen Mu suddenly had a feeling that he was like a wave, trying to struggle and struggle, and in the end everything would inevitably return to the original point, because everything was doomed.
Slowly, his gaze drifted into the distance, looking at the dense fog a few hundred meters away. The fog encircled the entire island like a cage.
What exactly is the origin of cruise ships? Why are there so many tourists? Why do visitors have to complete the mission? Do these cage-like islands have anything to do with cruise ships?
And for yourself, why do you have to kill the "Star King"? So who is that? ……
One question after another came one after another, making Chen Mu feel that his mind was filled with questions, and at this moment, his eyes looking at the dense fog showed a little confusion.
It has to be said that the time after completing the task and before boarding the cruise ship is generally the most popular time for tourists, because this time is the most relaxed.
Originally, Chen Mu could relax and let his thoughts wander wantonly, as casual and comfortable as the white clouds in the sky. But there are so many questions, which brings a bit of heaviness to Chen Mu's heart.
At this time, there are only three hours until the deadline on this island. Three hours later, a cruise ship will come and they will be leaving.
Dong Hongfeng sat on the side, about twenty or thirty meters away from Chen Mu, he was half-leaning on a stone, with a piece of grass on the corner of his mouth, revealing a lazy breath.
Next to him, Zhao Yue sat slightly cautiously, constantly talking to Dong Hongfeng.
Zhao Yue's questioning is very skillful, and he touted it from time to time to make Dong Hongfeng very satisfied and comfortable, so Dong Hongfeng would also say a few words casually about Zhao Yue's questions. And in these few sentences, Zhao Yue can accurately extract useful information.
In this way, Zhao Yue has more and more understanding of the "starting point", the identity of tourists, and even Dong Hongfeng.
When he heard about the three major forces on the "Starting Point", Zhao Yue immediately showed an interested look and asked:
"Brother Dong, since the three major forces are so strong, wouldn't it be very beneficial for us to join in?"
Dong Hongfeng glanced at him and said with a little disdain: "Join in?" Just because you want to join in? Hehe......"
His undisguised disdain made Zhao Yue's face slightly darker, but he immediately hid it well.
Zhao Yue continued to ask, "Brother Dong, what ...... Don't know what the requirements are for joining the three major forces? ”
"Requirements? Hmph, their public requirement is to have at least one A in the evaluation during the mission, which is ...... Ordinary people can't do it. But this is also nonsense, there are so few tourists with an evaluation of A, they can't all be A. As long as you can please the people who have the ability to do it, you can also join in. That's how Han Qiang was added, but don't think about what he paid. ”
Dong Hongfeng mentioned Han Qiang, and also thought of Lu Yanxia, with a little unhappiness on his face.
He waved his hand, signaling Zhao Yue to stay away from him as if chasing a fly, and then slowly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
Zhao Yue originally wanted to continue to inquire about more things, but seeing Dong Hongfeng's attitude, he didn't ask any more. Anyway, if you want to know, you know pretty much it.
"Evaluation...... To please ......"
Zhao Yue thought about Dong Hongfeng's words, a little farther away, he sat on the beach, his hands casually stirring the sand, his eyes kept flickering, he didn't know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, three people at the same time felt their watches vibrate.
The three of them, who had been looking lazy and relaxed, were stunned at the same time, and then looked at their watches, and a bad feeling came to their hearts.
"Warning! The danger of Clone Island has been increased to 3 stars. ”
The new message on the watch was only a short line of words, but it was like a bomb suddenly exploded in the hearts of the three people.
All three stood up at the same time, their faces nervous and guarded.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Zhao Yue approached the two of them and asked a little flusteredly.
"It should be something that has changed on the island...... Dong Hongfeng thought about it and said, "I have heard about this situation on the starting point, and it is generally the abnormal changes caused by tourists that cause the danger of the island to increase." But...... It shouldn't be! ”
Dong Hongfeng glanced at Chen Mu and Zhao Yue suspiciously, "We are all here, the clones should be almost dead, who else will cause the mutation?" ”
"Is it possible that it was not caused by man-made, but happened naturally?" Zhao Yue thought of a possibility and asked.
"It's possible!"
Dong Hongfeng's tone was a little uncertain, and he immediately said, "But you have to be careful of this kind of thing." When the two-star danger level was high, there were so many tourists in us, and now there are only three left. Now the danger level of Samsung is ...... Fortunately, there are no tasks and there is not much time, just get through it. ”
Lu Yanxia?!
After Chen Mu heard Dong Hongfeng speak, this name immediately flashed in his mind, if it is a situation where the danger is increased by man-made, then the most likely one is probably Lu Yanxia.
However, if it was really her reason, what did she do that could lead to an increase in danger?
"Hide first!"
Chen Mu said a word, and then looked around, before Dong Hongfeng and Zhao Yue could react, he had already quickly rushed towards a tall coconut tree.
Whoosh, Chen Mu moved extremely fast, and quickly climbed to the top of the tree, with the help of the cover of the leaves, he couldn't see clearly for a while.
"Yes, hide. There is no danger to wait for the cruise ship to come and leave directly, and if there is danger, just hide. ”
When Chen Mu hid, Dong Hongfeng suddenly came back to his senses and spoke.
Then he looked around, found a suitable coconut tree, and climbed up like Chen Mu.
Zhao Yue was stunned there, and also rushed towards a coconut tree. It's just that Zhao Yue had a problem when he climbed the tree, the trunk of the coconut tree is very smooth, and there is no place to borrow strength. Zhao Yue climbed up about two meters, relaxed slightly, and slid down, rubbing the skin on the inner thigh.
Anxious and angry, he hurriedly tried again, this time climbing a little higher, but still sliding down.
Try again, slip again......
Tried again and again, but to no avail. Zhao Yue was so anxious that he was about to cry, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Chen, Brother Dong...... Help me, help me ......"
Chen Mu hid in the tree, and when he heard Zhao Yue's voice, he couldn't help frowning.
Zhao Yue shouted like this, let alone avoiding danger, even if there was no danger, he could be recruited.
Dong Hongfeng hid in the leaves, motionless, and seemed to be not going to help.
And Zhao Yue kept shouting, and he didn't stop if there was no one to help.
Chen Mu frowned, and finally slipped off the tree.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen...... Help me ......."
Seeing Chen Mu coming over, Zhao Yue hurriedly asked for help.
"Shut up!"
Chen Mu let out a low snort, allowing Zhao Yue to swallow all his words back.
Although Chen Mu was as indifferent as ever, Zhao Yue was still sensitive to Chen Mu's impatience, and he didn't dare to speak again.
"Will you just hide in the trees?" Chen Mu suddenly spoke.
He chose to hide in a tree, but that didn't mean it was the only way. However, Dong Hongfeng and Zhao Yue also chose to dodge like this, which made Chen Mu a little speechless.
All three of them are hiding in a tree, and if one of them is accidentally exposed, wouldn't it be easy for all of them to be exposed?
If they use their brains and find a place to hide on their own, will they die?
His question made Zhao Yue stunned for a moment, and then he understood and blushed. After seeing Chen Mu and Dong Hongfeng go up the tree one after another, Zhao Yue subconsciously regarded hiding in the tree as the only option and didn't think too much about it.
At this time, Zhao Yue reacted, did not dare to meet Chen Mu's gaze, looked around a few times, and finally chose a place covered by stones and shrubs, and carefully hid it.
Dong Hongfeng was on the tree, his field of vision was relatively wide, he carefully looked in all directions, found nothing, and relaxed a little.
He turned his head to look at it, and was suddenly stunned.
Because Chen Mu, who was still standing on the beach just now, suddenly disappeared.
It's incredible! Because everywhere was under Dong Hongfeng's nose, he only looked away for a moment, and Chen Mu disappeared like this.
Looking around carefully, you can easily see where Zhao Yue is hiding, but there is no trace of Chen Mu.
"I rub, how is it the same as a ghost."
Dong Hongfeng was surprised in his heart.
Continuing to carefully observe the surroundings for a while, there was still no sign of Chen Mu, Dong Hongfeng shook his head and moved his stiff neck.
In this way, more than two hours passed, during which Dong Hongfeng went down the tree to rest five times, and Zhao Yue also came out of hiding several times.
The surroundings were quiet and nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Brother Dong, even if the danger of this island increases, we will not necessarily be in danger here!" Zhao Yue looked around and asked Dong Hongfeng.
"Hmm!"
Dong Hongfeng nodded in response, and had no intention of explaining anything to Zhao Yue. In fact, even he wasn't sure if it would be dangerous on the beach.
What made him even more curious was, where did Chen Mu go? For more than two hours, there is still no trace, this is too good to hide!
Suddenly, Dong Hongfeng, who was sitting there drinking water, jumped up instantly, with a nervous look on his face.
The next moment, he slipped the water bottle into the watch space, and the whole person swished back up the tree.
Zhao Yue on the side sensed that something was wrong, and also hid in a hurry.
After a while, there was a slight tremor on the ground, Dong Hongfeng looked into the distance from the tree, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock: "Lu Yanxia?!" ”
What appeared in front of him was a figure of more than a thousand, they looked exactly the same, it could be seen that it was Lu Yanxia's appearance, obviously a clone of Lu Yanxia.
There were no clothes on them, but the sight of thousands of naked bodies running at the same time was not fragrant but terrifying. Because their skin was a rotten gray-brown color, and even showed signs of decay, and they looked sluggish and slow, and the whole thing looked like dead bodies rather than living people.
